Sorry, I need to rant really badly. DO NOT EVER FUCKING FEED YOUR MONEY TO FUCKING ROGERS WHO ARE A BUNCH OF FUCKING THIEVES WHO GET AWAY WITH MURDER BECAUSE MY FELLOW FUCKING CANADIANS DONT KNOW ANY BETTER. I fucking pay like $80 a month for this shitty ass un-stable internet connection whose upload is so abysmal that it takes a good 10 minutes for me to test the upload speed. I can't play a game of Counter Strike Source without my ping spiking to 600ms several times. FUCK YOU ROGERS EAT DICK.

I live in the US, Missouri. We have AT&T U-verse and we have a 250GB cap. So stupid.

[marc0871]

darn man. you do get ripped of.

here in the netherlands, we haven't had data caps for over a decade now.

the isp's use a fair use policy.it states that we may use 10 times the average bandwidth usage.

this means that the allowed bandwidth can only grow as people use more.

i've had weeks i downloaded a TB of data,apart from surfing,e-mailing,playing online games and watching youtube and such.

i have yet to recieve any fine for going over my limit.

52 euro tripleplay(internet,phone cable) 44/4Mb/s

we were playing $30 a month in the US for 7.5mbps and we got them up to 12mbps for the same price. its defiantly not the fastest but its uncapped and has never failed. but the customer service sucks if you dont get an american with a brain on the line. sorry about that horrible company pulling that shit up in Canada

Seems good here, 80 bucks a month, get around 33-34Mbps d/l, but only 1.1Mbps u/l.

[monkey6573]

You think Canada is bad we pay $70/month for 50GB of internet and once you go over it is so slow you cannot use it

I live in montreal, im with videotron and for 100bucks a month i have 30mbps and 100 fucking gbs cap

I'm with Distributel cable internet 15 mbps unlimited downloads at the same price as Tek Savvy. Distributel has offered customers free cable modems and only a $10.00 activation fee. (A rogers technican does the hook up) That's it, that's all, nothing extra at all. I have heard rumors that Distributel is expanding to Satellite internet next year. Oh and one more thing, schedule one month in advanced for the hook up to occur just after pay day, less headaches that way.

I bumped up to 100gig to watch HD on Youtube and still went over.

It seems like Rogers owns the CRTC,

windstream is horrible!

@SketchyAussie Yeah at least I'm on cable so its always at least 15mbps, sometimes up to 25mbps (on a 15m plan lol). We do have plans that are unlimited, but they are ADSL2 which sucks. Part of the problem here is that the only international cable to NZ is monopolised by a single tier 1 ISP, so they have free running with prices. Once a second cable is installed and 100mbps fibre to the home is rolled out in the next couple of years it will be a lot better.
